AMD announced first shipments of its 2nd generation accelerated processing units (APUs), under its A-Series "Trinity", and E/C-series "Brazos 2.0" lines. The new 2012 APUs by AMD, according to Senior PR Manager Phil Hughes, "improve on virtually every aspect of [the] current A-Series APUs while doubling the performance-per-watt over our previous generation." The APUs are available in FM2 uPGA for desktops, and FS1r2 uPGA, FP2 BGA for notebooks; targeting nearly all PC form-factors. Pictured below, is the very first shipment heading out to ASUSTek.

f**k the truck, the driver probably took it halfway down the road then dropped it off with a rickshaw who had to take it the rest of the journey.

the truck is just a publicity stunt.

If the truck doesnt get pursued by 2 armed gangs driving black Audi A8's and firing AK's out the window with one guy firing a random RPG with explosions and loud noises everywhere for a few miles then yeah, they are on a budget.

Assuming these boxes are 1000x600x400mm each. Since they go to ASUS, the're most likely FS1r2 laptop cpus. I'm also assuming the packing size of each CPU is 10x50x50mm.
That makes 9.600 CPUs, probably a little less since the package will have some padding on the inside. So in the end, it's still over 9000 CPUs per box - with an OEM price of 50 US$ per CPU, that makes about 450.000 US$ per box.

I think you won't see that happen until further down the road, and it will probably come with a switch from PGA to LGA, or at least I hope it will. It would be nice of AMD to consolidate their platform more. If they had a single socket--we'll call it FM3--that supported all their desktop CPU's, they would be better off.

They were so freaking slow making brazos 2.0, and lets face it... First E-generation was too freaking slow for 1080p video playback without GPU acc.....
Because of the long wait, I ended up going all in, sandy bridge dualcore instead, power consumption of my i3-2100 setup is less than 10W higher in load, and 3W higher idle, than my E350... - and the E350 had a 5-10% more effecient PSU solution (picopsu)
